Is possible, went there last march to Arashiyama for half a day ( until after lunch ) then continue to explore Kinkakuji, if not possible just schedule another visit later on. I will be going to Osaka/Kyoto again during mid of Nov this year

It is better for u to plan the route for the places u are going, then from google map can get the transport fees, from there on u can calculate if it is worth it. I didn't get the Kansai Thru Pass because it is not worth it for my travel route, instead i rely on Icoca

My advice is plan and check the route from google map first, i don't think u can visit 5 places a day ( very rush ), i mostly travel to max of 3 places per day, the transportation cost at Japan is really expensive, better plan properly to save some money ( well if u are cash rich is ok jus buy KTP and save the hassle )

2 hours is more than enough, basically just snap picture there then can leave, nothing much to do there

Anyone rented wifi router from Travel Recommends before? Want to know if the coverage and connection quality is good before committing

How about the connection quality? The deposit i am aware of, not a big problem for me

My travel date is 17th Nov until 28th Nov 2016

Thank you for your feedback, i shall proceed with the booking then

Anyone changed from USD to Yen before? The rate seems to be better than changing straight from MYR to Yen. Anyone can confirm?

http://www.kaakix.co.jp/exchange/rate.html

According to the rate

買取レート
外貨→日本円
(Buying Rate) = 102.93
Currently USD = 4.215

So the Yen rate is 102.93/4.215 = 24.42

But changing directly from Yen

Rate now = 41.6
Yen from MYR = 1000/41.6 = 24.04

Asking this because can't get Yen from my local dealer at Melaka for few days, if worse case will change to USD first before going to Osaka next Thursday
